Last night I found a piano, a tv , some misc. baby strollers/ cribs, some cool mosquito lamps, VCR player, and some various other metal pieces. Oh and a roll of copper wire!

Never know what your going to find. What size is the copper wire?
Not sure but it's ins wire that's a little bigger than the lead in a #2 pencil. It's probably 4 lbs or so
Some strollers are aluminum. But way too much plastic
I've never had to take the plastic off a baby stroller and never found aan aluminum one. my .02
Sell those Eddie Bauer ones, don't scrap unless it's crap!
mascraps,
after you take the piano apart post what you got out of it!
I found one while scrapping. After doing the research, it has a approximate value of $20 with all various metals accounted for. I decided to leave it be.
Reasons not to pick it up:
-Heavy
-Too much wood for steel pile
-Too much time to dismantle
-Strings under a lot of tension. Can easily be hurt if one breaks or is taken apart wrong.
-A 200lb piece of iron somewhere inside it. I forget what its for, but it is a pain to get to.
But still check to see if the keys are ivory. If the wood is high quality, you could feasibly sell it to a craftsman I guess. Otherwise, strip any metal on the outside if its worth it to you and move on.
